No wise cracks. This is a serious discussion. Don't make me use my hot coffee

LOL what!?

Anyone else feel the same?

...but only because I leave the title screen of the game running 24/7 for years. I have no idea how many actual hours I've played, but it's not nearly that much.

...log onto Official MI 0030 LOL

You enter a small town, and you hear multiple gun shots. You wait a bit, and the moment you leave the building you hear multiple shots again - as if on queue. Then afterwards you slowly make your way towards the town's best resource (e.g. police station) and you're nearly sniped.

When I watch A Show Of Hands I hear a lot of keyboards going on, but no one actually playing them. Are they being triggered by any band member (e.g. Neil's highhat?), or are they simply playing to a click track which is timed with the electronic bits from the album recording? Did this evolve over the years (e.g. did they attempt to replicate any synth parts live for Big Money on the original tour, and got lazy and just played along to a pre-recording in later years)?

The 2026 Animal Farm film's "modern messaging" dilutes Orwell's core political warning, a razor-sharp allegory of the Bolshevik Revolution's betrayal into Stalinist totalitarianism, where the pigs' internal seizure of power, propaganda, purges, and rewriting of "Animalism" expose how revolutionary equality inevitably produces a new exploitative elite indistinguishable from the old human oppressors, by externalizing corruption onto a billionaire capitalist villain (Pilkington) who woos the pigs with wealth, malls, and consumerism, while gender-swapping Snowball into a more heroic figure and grafting on a hopeful third-act overthrow with teamwork-and-freedom uplift. A politically faithful fan edit would excise these elements to restore the book's uncompromising anti-totalitarian (specifically anti-communist) thrust: eliminate the corporate corrupter and shopping sprees so the pigs' rot is purely ideological and power-driven; trim Lucky's redemptive hero arc and the flood climax; and cut to the bleak pigs-humans card-game indistinguishability, ensuring the satire indicts the revolutionary system's inherent failure rather than softening it into anti-capitalist critique or optimistic restart.

In a nutshell. Make that movie like the book.

They need to bring this version back to the live show where it has shades of Xanadu in the intro. In fact when they played La Villa, I thought they were when opening with keyboards and volume swells on the guitar

Given the issues he has had with his hands which performances per song do you think has Alex messing up the least during Rush's first four nights in L.A.?

It's a shame that TV series didn't last very long. It would be cool to see it as a film.
